“List of cities in Indiana has beef with: Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles,” says the post.

The WNBA announced that Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia would receive deductibles in the coming years, adding to Toronto and Portland. Cunningham wondered aloud if the fans would like to flock to the arenas of Cleveland and Detroit.

“I don’t know how excited people are to go to Detroit or (Cleveland),” she said on July 1.

Cunningham clarified his comments while addressing journalists on Thursday and defended the “blue passes” associated with Cleveland and Detroit.

“First of all, I know the history of the WNBA. I know that these two cities have already had teams before, and they have had where we are, so I am grateful,” she said. “All I was really going to come was Broadway, the style of life off the field and so I think it’s really intriguing. I think Miami is intriguing. That’s all I wanted.”

“I think it would be fun to get teams outside the NBA market … I think people have completely read the situation badly. I would never talk about middle -class blue collar collars. This is where I come.

Cunningham also discussed the backlash to his comments.
